Epsilon Pavonis is a single,[9] white-hued star in the constellation Pavo. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ε Pavonis, and abbreviated Epsilon Pav or ε Pav. It can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 3.97.[2] The annual parallax shift of 31.04 mas[1] provides a distance estimate of 105 light years from the Sun.
With a stellar classification of A0 Va,[2] Epsilon Pavonis is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It is just 27 million years old[6] with a projected rotational velocity of 85 km/s.[7] The star has 2.2 times the mass of the Sun[5] and 1.74 times the Sun's radius.[6] It is radiating 32 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere[7] at an effective temperature of 10,440 K.[8]
This star is a member of the proposed Argus Association, a young moving group of more than 60 stars associated with the IC 2391 cluster.[10] Epsilon Pavonis is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −6.7 km/s.[4]
